[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: I _had thought_ (there I go, trying to
think for myself again!) that because a while back I had published a
couple messages about the West Virginia coal mine disasters, had
included a note about the generally unfortunate circumstances many of
those folks live with as a routine part of their lives, and a day or
two later had published a more positive note here from a reader
familiar with the northern wedge of West Virginia that this (as you
refer to him) 'idiot' was writing to follow up on those messages. Steve,
I really do not know what to do any longer with spam, which is _so_
pervasive, _so_ entrenched in the net. Don't we trust anyone to say
anything any longer without first going through all the various
newsgroups, etc? I guess you are looking at someone (myself!) whose
overall usefulness on the net ended sometime around 1985 or so ... PAT]
